I've had this chip in for a couple of days now.
Running at stock speed but have instability...I.E. random reboots, even without applying load sometimes, but always under load. Idle temp is 40C, load 47-48C (I'll get better cooling after I get back into town after Thanksgiving), but right now I'm running stock heatsink and fan. System temp is a steady 17C.
I tried various combos of voltage increases...cpu, ram, chipset, but no help. So now am running system defaults.
I noticed in bios and MBM that cpu seems to be undervolted....default is 1.65, but reads 1.63-1.64 in bios and MBM...it fluctuates, is this normal?
Even fter raising core voltage to 1.675 I get readings of 1.63-1.65, again fluctuating. Again, just curious if this is normal or is it a problem with my crappy power supply?
I have an Arrow 500W psu. The 3.3v line reads 3.57v, 5.00v reads 4.97v, 12v fluctuates between 11.55v and 11.61v.
The -12.00v is pretty far out of spec at -13.2-13.3v but the -5v seems pretty steady at -5.04.
Any help/advice will be appreciated. I'll be leaving town tomorrwow night (Saturday 21st) and won't be back till next weekend, but would appreciate any comments before then so it won't be driving me nuts while I'm gone. Again, thanks.
